Centre for Quantum Computer Technology

开发用于大规模并行计算的量子计算机（QC）是本世纪科学和工程领域的主要挑战之一。自2000年以来，中心在该领域取得了两项重大突破：构建了硅固态QC的关键功能元件；并共同发明了一种高效线性光学QC方案。拟议的CoE旨在将这两个国家协调的研究项目与世界现有的计算机和IT行业结合起来，实现具有集成控制和量子比特芯片的容错多量子比特量子处理器，并开发可扩展的光学量子处理器，为澳大利亚提供显著的经济效益。

Development of a quantum computer (QC) for massively parallel computing is one of the major challenges in science and engineering this century. Since 2000 the Centre has achieved two major breakthroughs in this field: constructing the key functional element of a silicon solid-state QC; and co-inventing a scheme for efficient linear optics QC. The proposed CoE aims to align these two nationally co-ordinated research programs with the world's existing computer and IT industries to realise a fault-tolerant multiple qubit quantum processor with integrated control and qubit chips, and develop a scaleable optical quantum processor providing significant economic benefit to Australia.
